Task updates not saving - plans reverting to previous dates etc

Question

I've received an email from one of our PMs. She has logged in to her plan today and tasks that were previously complete and showing 100% and with a completion date have overnight reverted back to their previous status - incomplete and the previous dates
are showing instead.

After calling to discuss it she confirmed that she had published and checked in the plan last night, and closed it down properly. She waited until she saw the "publish complete" messages etc.

She, and this project, are currently being audited so it's an urgent matter and it's causing us some concern. Has anyone encountered this before? Any clues as to what may be going on please?

Service Pack 2 corrects an issue that is similar to what you are experiencing--

When status updates are accepted, the status update job will show that the job completed successfully;however, the update apply process failed and the submitted actuals do not show up in the project plan and subsequent downstream reports.

I've been having the same problem... on multiple projects. The percent complete is correct until users enter timesheet information, then the tasks change to less than 100% complete. This happens for tasks that do not have time logged against
them. How was it resolved?
